Last month did you get lots of e-mails with attachments like "Wicked Screensaver" and "Thank You". Then you know all about MSBlast the worst spreading worm ever. Today Microsoft released another patch for something similar that would effect all Windows users (except for those running Windows Me or Windows 9x).

I'd encourage everyone to make sure you have this critical update installed on your system.

Windows IS a major security hole

Another week, another patch...

95% of viruses spread because people open attachments on emails from people they don't know. It's amazing how stupid some folk are...

Oh, I think I didn't send it last week! If you never get it, don't feel free to open it, okay?

Ok. If it doesn't show up, I'll know it wasn't from you...

Good. Oh, and never open worms online; only in Biology class.
